Are you struggling with chronic conditions like soft tissue injuries or tendonitis? Have traditional treatments not provided the relief you need? If you’re looking to get back to your work, hobbies, or sports pain-free, shockwave therapy at DX Physio might be the solution you’re looking for. Available at both our Cremorne and Balgowlah locations, this non-invasive treatment can help speed up recovery and ease pain.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used in physiotherapy to promote healing and relieve pain. It involves applying high-frequency acoustic waves to injured areas, which stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. The treatment triggers beneficial effects such as: pain relief, reduction of inflammation, and stimulation of collagen production, which are key to recovering from conditions such as tendonitis or other soft tissue injuries.
